Where everyday life is full of glimmers of ordinary magic

Based on the enormously popular podcast Nothing Much Happens, these family-friendly stories are an antidote to anxiety and a dose of simple goodness.

Spending Time, In the Early Summer
Our stories today take us through some ways folks in the Village are spending their days and evenings in the early summer. We’ll start by laying the table under the string lights in the garden and pulling up chairs with friends in The Dinner Bell. Then, we’ll see where the night takes us, from the park to the lot on the edge of town, with bubbles and blankets in at The Drive-In. Finally, we’ll slow down, take some deep breaths and reset by arriving Early to Yoga.
